Well I'm equally sure that 2.5.75.11 or whatever it was will allow some
people to do some new stuff. Otherwise it wouldn't be an update.
Just because most people don't know the details about gonads work with rear
end recursion, and you (and I) don't know the details about the
2.75.11.5.157 linux update, it doesn't mean it's not useful at all.

What, just because you are doing something that not many others are
interested in? I'm not interested in the details of what you are doing with
Haskell, but once I understood what your logic program was doing (or rather,
what it is easily capable of doing) I was quite impressed.

Because, unlike Haskell or the Linux Kernel or POV-Ray, that really
would apply to most people.
And could either be considerably fun, or horrifically painful.

I take that back. There are three different kernels, but the differences
are all in security patches. I don't know what I was thinking. I'll
blame it on the whiskey or something. ;-)
And it's not a bad thing, btw. We have 3rd party code that needs a
specific compiler, and other 3rd party device drivers that link against
the kernel. Stability in the basic infrastructure can be a good thing.
(Sadly, the compiler version the 3rd-party code needs isn't the compiler
that comes with the SuSE we're using, so that kind of sucks, but ...)

That's the giggle of the morning, I think. :-)

You're not the only person I'm responding to here.

Possibly (I already have a netbooting NetBSD for MicroSPARC (SS5)), but
OpenBSD would be the nerdiest overkill for the job of garmaugh (the
Netra) :).

That's just my point. They keep releasing new versions of the Linux
kernel, but as far as I can tell, none of them *do* anything new. So...
why... are they... releasing it?

It probably doesn't come across in text, but at the point when I wrote
this, I basically felt like throwing myself off a bridge. (And I *mean*
IRL!) I am utterly ****ed off with the entire universe repeatedly
reminding me that everything I hold dear is in fact pointless,
worthless, empty, and that I am a stupid retarded idiot for even caring
about such things. Face it, *nobody* enjoys being repeatedly told
they're stupid...
